Re: [Apple-Crop] DNA testing,

Lee, Washington State University has a spin out company, Phytelligence 
(www.phytelligence.com), that offers plant DNA testing services. They have a 
database of DNA fingerprints of many of the common apple cultivars so testing 
does not have to start from scratch.

Reach out to my former student, Tim O’Brien. He works at phytelligence and walk 
you through their approach and budget. There are many different levels of DNA 
profiling. Tim can be reached by Email at timobr...@phytelligence.com or 
206-719-5317.  He will be able to walk you through their approach and budget.

Lee:   Establishing a DNA library of apple cultivars for comparison is not 
cheap.. Have them check on the Washington State University Apple Genomic 
Project  (https://genomics.wsu.edu/wsus-apple-genome-project/).  
  I suggest that you keep record of the DNA fingerprint of your cultivars and 
if any of your cultivars make it into the big league and  someone pirated them 
then compare theirs to yours..  Mosbah, University of Illinois

Subject: [Apple-Crop] DNA testing,

A Lab that does plant dna testing tells me  that they have never established a 
base of existing cultivars and would need to do this first before testing and 
comparing them to our new varieties to prove to the patent office the new 
varietis are unique, This ups the price to about $30,000, has any known  lab 
allready done this where the price would be much lower.?  We have signed 
contracts with Stark Bros to introduce 9 new Honey crisp crosses, are preparing 
the patent apps now, would be great to include a dna profile to prove 
uniqueness and protect our new cultivars Lee Elliott, Upstart Nursery
